DMT - Is this the answer?

So I was reading some stuff recently and it explained how, even though scientists and doctors have no clue why it's present, DMT is present in humans from birth to death. This got me thinking about consciousness, the act of actually being alive, and death. I started to think, what if DMT is our soul? What if it were the thing that animates us and propels our journey through life? What if it's the actual animator of human life? I feel this could explain the feeling of connectedness and exposure to the mystery of the world when ingesting/smoking. This would also explain the same feeling happening when eating mushrooms or taking other tryptamines because you've tapped into it and you're seeing the entire history of humanity's existence, just at an imperceptible rate. Just a thought.

DMT is like suddenly being put into a simulation or video game, at least at non-breakthrough doses, and at least for me.
There is this strange feeling the place has been waiting for me, and that everything is some kind of excessively obvious 'setup.'
It's kind of beautiful, like I'm some explorer.

If consciousness is DMT then you're consciousness observing the results of yourself. I don't think its that simple.
It clearly has something to do with the picture of reality as we imagine it but I dont think what you experience on DMT is consciousness itself.
I think that one molecule has some important connection perhaps with the soul but there are too many other strange molecules that would be left out and unexplainable if DMT was the complete and utter source and everything else was illusory, which it would have to be. If that were true DMT would be LSD.
Also you assume that DMT opens an akashic record portal that once opened creates a flooding connection through other psychedelics. This would not explain the effects of other psychedelics prior to DMT.
On a side note: I learned that some older native cultures initiate shaman babies ( not sure how this is chosen ) like the ones in the documentary "Aluna", in lengthy stretches of darkness from 7 months old. In recent studies they have found that there is a chain reaction of chemical production in the human brain after 14 days of total darkness cascading like this : Melatonin, Panealean (<not correct spelling), 5-meo-dmt and finally NN-dmt.

He also mentions it in this podcast: http://in-a-perfect-world.podomatic.com/
At the moment rather than worrying about whether dmt is the seat of the soul Im more interested in why the fuck there are alkaloids in plants?

I dont get that "you've arrived in a test lab" vibe that some people talk about.
I get the feeling of movement through something extremely complex and important. Its organic. Its very powerful. It makes intricate sudden connections that astound the onlooker in a way that you never expected or thought were possible. Sometimes it feels like my CNS has brushed against a stinging nettle. I'm very much thinking "whoa whoa whoa" as its happening but I don't want it to stop.
